MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Modern architecture is strongly associated with a movement known
as International Style that emerged in the 1930s. It is characterized by
shapeless rectangular forms, lack of ornamentation or decoration, open
interiors and lightweight structures that utilize steel to minimize bulk.
International Style influenced much of the architecture produced from 1950-
2010s.

ARCHITECTURE
Post modern architecture is a reaction to the plainness of modern
architecture that makes use of bold forms and ornamentation. Also, makes
visible and reflects on how things work, on the structure of things, in contrast
with their formal aspect.
